President Mahama hosts members of Greater Accra Region House of Chiefs

President Mahama said the Government would continue to engage the Chiefs, the Lands Commission, the Ministry of Lands and Natural Resources and other relevant institutions to address outstanding matters relating to compensation, land ownership, state acquisitions and the lawful utilisation of public lands.

President Mahama said the Government was also preparing legislation to ensure that the disposal of public lands and other state assets was subject to clear, transparent legal procedures and prior approval by Parliament.

President Mahama said land administration must serve the public interest while protecting both traditional landowners and the state.
